LAKEVILLE — The Freetown-Lakeville School Committee shared plans to improve the swimming pool, stadium and drinking water infrastructure at Apponequet Regional High School during a meeting on Aug. 20.

The district will use $100,000 in state funding to replace the stadium's goal posts, repair the track, and study needed maintenance for the swimming pool. While an additional $100,000 state grant will be used to upgrade water pumps in the high school’s drinking water system.

While the funding has been finalized, all the projects are still in the early stages and do not yet have an estimated completion date.

For the swimming pool, an engineering study began on Aug. 13, where consultants worked with the facilities director to prepare for an engineering analysis for the pool. Higgins said he hopes to have an update on the timeline of the analysis — that will provide information on what needs to be done to maintain the decades-old pool — by the end of next week.

At the stadium, the football uprights will be replaced since the current uprights are structured in a way that limits the field’s length and usability.

“This will not only improve for football, but also for our lacrosse, soccer and field hockey teams,” Higgins said. “The new uprights will have a curve, and therefore the field can be a little longer and match what is necessary for soccer and field hockey.”

The school has received the new uprights, and are expecting installation to begin “shortly” Higgins said. Upgrades to the long jump and triple-jump track lanes will also be made, as they are in “disrepair”.

“We're looking forward to moving forward with those now that we have been awarded the money,” Higgins said.

The $100,000 for the stadium and pool project was awarded by the state out of money collected from the “millionaires tax,” a 4% surtax on wealthy residents.

The $100,000 for the water system improvements was sourced from a grant operated by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.

The grant awards funding to municipalities with independent drinking water systems. Since the high school provides its own drinking water on campus, and is a public water supplier, it qualified for the funding.

“That grant will help us to make upgrades to our domestic water facility, including pumps and filtration. That's going to be for equipment here on the campus,” said the Director of Finance Jack Higgins.

Other renovations include upgrades to the district’s fire suppression systems and repairing two elevators with broken doors at the Freetown Lakeville Middle School and Freetown Elementary Schools. The facade at Apponequet High School building is also being cleaned of the lichen and grime by a cleaning company this week.
